Maxine Wahome, a young rally driver, has been dropped from the Young Rally Stars Program by the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally Kenya, following legal developments regarding the investigation into the death of her boyfriend, Assad Khan.
The WRC stated that Wahome has been released from further engagements in the program to deal with the ongoing court case, and that they are committed to developing and nurturing talent fairly and equitably.
Wahome won one of the WRC categories in last year’s Safari Rally competition, and was arraigned before the High Court last Tuesday to face murder charges.
